I totally agree with this statement they should keep the form fitting route as an option because it looks awesome, maybe they could add it to the 6 while they are at it. Then we could all have our cake and eat it too. It just looks better for the direct mount pups

Yes the form fitting route is way more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. We should lobby to keep this as a option for the 7 and add it to the 6. I also like the new covers with the adjustable pole pieces as well. I think I preffer the Bezel look with those.

The one thing slightly helping on that one is the fact that the pickups are black which doesn't contrast with the blackness of the moat surrounding the pup. Light/white pups are the least ideal I'd say, at least in terms of the discussion here.

Hah, it's been that way all along and I've never noticed anything wrong with it. Maybe it's just that I like the look of direct-mount pickups and don't really care much about the shape of the rout. It always looked fine to me.

I will say that I find it marginally easier to adjust pickup height with the mounting ring, than without.

I don't recall ever seeing an S22 on a HSS bolt, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. It might take some manual modification to the pickguard but as long as the mounting holes are the same, it should be possible.

Yeah, I'd imagine they would have to mod the humbucker pickguard hole to accommodate the cover...but, I figure that would be way less labor intensive than some of the option 50 options lingering about.
